QUERY. LANDRETH – RYNES.
I'm looking for Mary Ellen Landreth from New Hope or Richland, New Mexico from 1907 to
her death in 1917. She is buried in the New Hope Cemetery. I can't
find her on the 1910 census. Mary Ellen came by wagon from Allen, OK in
1906/7 with her granddaughter Ida RYNES, her daughter Laura Melvina
PARKS, Mr. PARKS, and several of his children by previous marriages. The 1910 US Census for Roosevelt County does
not have a Precinct for Richland like the 1920 census. What Precinct in
the 1910 census would include the Richland and New Hope area? Are there
any maps showing these Precincts for 1910 and 1920? Thank you so much for any help you can give
me. Deborah Hatfield. DeborahHatfield@cox.net
(Precinct for 1910 was
probably Causey; however, Mary Ellen Landreth is not in the 1910 Census Index for Roosevelt,
Curry or De Baca County. There are
several Parks listed and two with a Laura shown in them. Harold Kilmer)

I have letters written by a Nat BRIDGES (Nathaniel S.) and from his wife Maggie
Phillips BRIDGES in 1909 to their family in Georgia. They are addressed from
Plateau, New Mexico. I have not been able to find a town by this name on any
map but the county locator says there was a town or area by that name in
Roosevelt County, NM. My question is, does anyone know what section of the
census I should look through for this area? Thanks for any advice, Linda Blum-Barton. lab@boone.net
**Plateau, NM in Roosevelt County was on the AT&SF RR, 19 miles SW
of Portales. Post office, 1906-10, changed to Kermit. Nathaniel; and Maggie
Bridges are not in the 1910 Federal Census for NM Territory and they are not in
the 1920 at Kermit. The 1920 census link on Roosevelt County.

am searching for any information available on Katherine WILSON. The only
infomation I have found is: Katherine WILSON, b. 2
Nov 1896 (location unknown), d. March 1989, Bernaillio
County. Katherine is suppose to have been married at least twice. She lived in
Roosevelt County on and off during the 1920s - 1940s, and in New Mexico most of
her life. Katherine had a son in Magdelena, NM on 18
April 1920; and, found name of Carter WHITE listed as father of daughter b. 8
October 1921 in El Paso, TX. Due to a serious illness she was not expecting to
survive, Katherine ask her best friend to adopt and raise her children; I
believe this to have been sometime in the late 1920s to mid- 1930s. Anything
you can locate (with this meager information) would be appreciated. Please
contact me at sula_b@yahoo.com
